What is Sufism : A wonderful lecture by Zia Inayat Khan

There are many concepts in this world which words can never explain, let alone define properly. Sufi or Sufism is a terribly misunderstood term both in east and west. The Sufi Idea is a reality, that has no form or ritual. As a result people fail to grasp the concepts about it. Sufism is a reality that transcend all doctrines, all faith or dogams. It can be called the religion of heart which is immersed in Love. For Sufis religion is nothing but the Beloved God. This lecture by Zia Inayat can help u realize the reality of Sufism in its essence.

Zia Inayat Khan is a very well known spiritual personality of our time. He is the grandson of Sufi Inayat Khan. He gave this lecture in the 2005 Sufi Conference. The lecture is infused with some very beautiful definitions of what really Sufism or Sufi is. In the process of explaining he also mentioned several beautiful sufi stories in the lecture which are worth listening.

Prayer

O My Lord, forgive me and forgive any showiness of this site. Let this work be for You and for You only. Shower your Infinite Rahma (Grace) on us, on this place and make it sacred and be a recurring source of Your peace. My Lord, with Your Light show us the Truth. Surely You are the Guide, and You show the path to whom You will. Purify our heart, remove the veils of ignorance and let the realization of the Truth make us free. There is none we can turn to forgive, but You.

O Beloved, we can not know You completely, since You can only know Your TrueSelf. But grant us the vision necessary to Love You in a way that pleases You. Yours is the Infinite Glory, Infinite Majesty and Infinite Love forever and ever.
